I've basically joined to get some feedback from Focus owners while I"m on my quest to purchase a new vehicle this year. I have for sometime been considering the Ford Fiesta, solar kits, Mazda 3 and the GMC Terrain.

You may wonder woah the first 3 sound reasonable but a Terrain! Reason to throw the GMC Terrain in the mix is its fuel economy and its ability to tow. So there are some criteria here and actually fuel economy it at the top of the list.

Currently I tow a Yamaha Grizzly 550 using a Triton aluminium trailer so it is fairly light together, 276lbs + 648lbs. Anyway trailering will only be around 10% of my driving and since I drive 170km round trip Mon-Fri my arrow is pointing towards getting a 2013 Ford Focus Titanium because there are really good deals at the moment.

If anyone can give me their experiences either with actually trailering using this vehicle or even advise as to maybe considering something else that would be fantastic. I currently tow using a Protege 5 and it tows flawless so looking for the same experience and I thought my Mazda was good on gas till I just read the specs on the Focus. I'm using around 45 litres for every 500kms, that is a full tank.

I should mention I am looking at getting a 5 speed but they are hard to find in this model with leather trim, basically 6 speed autos which I can currently pick up for 21K right now, brand new.

Thanks everyone.

Have you got the auto you were searching for? Your choice is very interesting so share some more details..
